[Elecraft] MD2 Heil Desk Microphone for the K2

I just received the MD2 microphone and the PL2T Pro-Line microphone boom I
ordered a few days ago.  REALLY REALLY nice looking! And at about half
price, what a deal.  I have it set up.  I had to install 8 jumper blocks
onto the microphone header and a 5.6K resistor across pins 1-6 on the rear
of the 8 pin mike connector (supplied with the mike).  My problem/question
is this.  I had been using a regular Heil mike that had low gain for the K2
and a few years ago I read somewhere about changing a resistor to increase
the gain.  The change helped.  I don't know which resistor it was! I'm not
even sure which board it was on.  I think a 10K resistor was involved
somehow.  Does anyone know which resistor it might have been and do I have
to change it back to it's original value to have the new MD2 mike work
optimally?
